Question: Use the data below to calculate the labor efficiency variance assuming the actual and standard labor rate is $20 per hour. Overtime is paid at
Use the data below to calculate the labor efficiency variance assuming the actual and standard labor rate is $20 per hour. Overtime is paid at 1.5 times the standard rate and no overtime nor idle time was budgeted when the production standards were created.

01 date : Date in MM-DD-YYYY 02 day : Day of the Week 03 quarter : A portion of the month. A month was divided into four quarters 04 department : Associated department with the instance 05 team_no : Associated team number with the instance 06 no_of_workers : Number of workers in each team 07 no_of_style_change : Number of changes in the style of a particular product during a shift 08 targeted_productivity : Targeted productivity based on history for each team for each day. Targeted productivity is a % of standard and ideally should be 100% (or 1.00). Use this column to compare with actual_productivity, but you won't need to use it in a variance formula. 09 smv : Standard Minute Value, it is the allocated time for one person to complete one unit in the related department. 10 Actual Production: # of units completed by the department 11 over_time : Represents the amount of overtime by each team in minutes. Overtime pay was budgeted to be zero and employees are paid 1.5x the normal rate for overtime. 12 incentive : Represents the amount of financial incentive (in BDT) that enables or motivates a particular course of action. Ignore this column. 13 idle_time : The amount of time when the production was interrupted due to several reasons 14 idle_men : The number of workers who were idle due to production interruption
15 no_of_style_change: Represents how many times the production line was stopped to change styles, such as moving from sewing or finishing a t-shirt, to setting everything up top sew or finish a sweatshirt.
16 no_of_workers: The number of workers in that department, on that particular shift 15 actual_productivity : The actual % of productivity that was delivered by the workers. It ranges from 0-1.
What are the formulas I would use for this?
Thank you.
